Historians Ask Congress to Suspend Nixon Transfer: "The historians noted that current plans for the Nixon transfer, for which the Library is seeking $3 million in public funding, do not include any 'legally binding commitment by the Nixon estate or the Nixon Library and Birthplace for such a unified collection in the control of the National Archives and governed by public access laws.' In addition, the historians recommended that 'Congress should enact a statutory requirement for an independent review board at each of the existing and future Presidential Libraries.'"
